In fact, in doing so, one is forced — given that “racial” breakdowns ensure division of the population into identity groups that are then tied to political movements — to adopt the kind of identity politics that sits well with leftist and progressive political thought, and that rubs uncomfortably against the classical liberalism that this country was founded on.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://proteinwisdom.com/"><P>Which is why, I think, we find identity politics so often tied to the progressive movement, and ideas of individualism tied to the “right wing” (be those classified as such classical liberals, libertarians, or economic and legal conservatives).</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/38789C25-3F88-40C0-B934-EDAA31DE3E8E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
